That's the total price the county has agreed to pay to the families of four men who were ambushed and killed by police back in 2011 during a drug sting. That includes the $700,000 the county settled on today to avoid a lawsuit from the family of Rosendo Betancourt, the insider informant who actually helped police set up the sting but wound up dead as well

Police had told Betancourt to inform Gonzalez that there was 20 pounds of marijuana waiting for the taking in a home in the Redland. Gonzalez led his son, Betancourt and Antonio Andrew, a mentally-impaired sometimes car thief, to the home. When they arrived, police were waiting for them. All four men wound up dead. None of the men actually fired their weapons at cops.

Police, however, were unable to prove that three of the four killings were legally justified, and have paid out hefty sums now the victim's families. An investigation is still ongoing however to find if some officers involved tampered with evidence.

“I wouldn’t say anything really went wrong," he told the station. "I think it’s just a combination of a lot of questionable activities, a lot of bad actors, if you will … What happened happened. We talk about bad things coming together. When I say bad things I’m talking about bad people. Police tried to intervene and people lost their lives. That’s a bad thing. All we can do is to try to learn from it, not repeat it and go forward as a county."

Mayor Carlos Gimenez says the settlements were "the prudent thing to do" as the families could have received more had the suits actually gone to trial.
